CREATED BY THE EMMY®-WINNING WRITER FROM “SCHITT’S CREEK,” this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & Juliet asks: what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way.
Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including "Since U Been Gone‚" "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life‚" "That’s The Way It Is,“ and "Can't Stop the Feeling!"—all from the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it.
Though I can severely nitpick on the women & LGBTQIA+ empowerment storyline messages that has a habit of forcefully asserting how aware they are (a symptom that I find to be prevalent amongst white male writers) and that the plot disappointingly leaves the characters back to square one despite the messages, there is no doubt that the combo of incredible actors, dazzling costume/set/light design, infectious choreography, and good ol’ ‘90s and 2000s pop music nostalgia is a potent one absolutely worth seeing.
The terrific cast includes a finely tuned (vocally and otherwise) ensemble led by four stand-out performances. Webb’s Juliet combines powerhouse vocals with appealing determination and confusion, while Drake’s May offers the poignant view of a frequent outsider. Corey Mach wonderfully plays Shakespeare as an initially self-involved, striving artist, with Wicks’ beautifully nuanced Anne as his struggling wife yearning to give herself and women’s viewpoints a more important place in her husband’s world.
